  The positron source of International Linear Collider (ILC) requires a circular polarized gamma-ray with a flux more than 1016 phs./s and a helical undulator-based gamma-ray source is proposed in the baseline design. Although the undulator scheme is technically feasible, it is not easy for a stand-alone operation because of the required electron energy, ~ 150GeV. In this paper, we propose an alternative method, the inverse Compton scattering with a high-power mid-infrared optical pulse generated from coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). To achieve the high flux gamma-ray, CSR with a few MHz is stacked in a high-finesse optical cavity made of a photonic crystal. In the proposed scheme, a stand-alone operation is feasible because the electron energy is less than 10GeV.
